o Luso Hawaiiano.

The Portuguese paper, taking to
heart its selfimposed duty of educating
its readers, has begun very interesting
course--a geography of the Hawaiian
Islands, work which is precisely
what, for years past, has repeatedly
been asked in vain for the use of our
native and English schools. 1t would
be singular if this long wanted "desid-
eratum" in our public instruction WAS
to be filled out through the energy Of
the most ignorant Of our immigrants,
and we congratulate the editor on his
undertaking
The LnsO publishes fine offer made
to Portuguese settlers by the Haleakals
Ranch Company, which is ready to
give lands in Maui, in small tracts, on
twenty years leases at mere nominal
rental
The LNS0 further announces that the
newly instituted Portuguese Ladies'
Benevolent Society is quickly becom
Jog a success under Mrs Canavarro's
energetic presidency. They already
have a fund in the bank and have
begun their charitable assistance; but,
to make their resources more effica
cious, the Portuguese ladies have en-
Enthusiastically endorsed the HERALD's
suggestion of a fair, for which they
have already started the preliminary
work and which will be held at an early
date in the coming spring.
The other Portuguese society," "Lusi
tana Mutual Benevolent" is, according
to the LNSO, in such very prosperous
condition, that a similar but more
limited association, called "San An
tonic" has determined to consolidate
with it, which will be beneficial &c
both, especially as the former one is
going to take regular charter.
The Lisbon correspondence Of the
LNsO, which is always very interesting
announces that the Hawaiian Consul
in that capital, Hebrew, is not doing
great honor either to his official capa
city or to the Government he repre-
sents, having just been brought before
the "Policia Correctional for giving al
supplementary spanking to a creditor
who was rather pressing for his money
1t is further said that the commercial
affairs of the same agent are not very
brilliant, and that he intends to emf
crate to France. What credit does i
to this Government to appoint sucf
agents1

of 1876 and forty-eight when the
present year opened, the members
elected having been twenty, resigned
three, dropped six, left the Kingdom
without resigning one, and elected but

January 1, 1886, the company owed a
debt of $79.57, but on the correspond
ing day of 1887 it owed nothing.
Thirteen meetings had been held dur
ing the year, one of which was special
meeting, and the average attendance
was thirteen. The roll was called for
sixteen fires, three drills and one pa
rade, and the average attendance re-
spending was thirteen. Reference was
made to the change in officers, caused
by c. K. Miller, who was Secretary
two years and elected foreman on
January l, leaving in September. The
Secretary concluded by reporting

obtained. The foreman and first as

also the secretary, the following being
the whole result of the election

Death by Drowning.

a native diver named Hull was
drowned between eight and nine o'clock
yesterday morning, while diving for
iron plates which had accidentally
fallen overheard from the Likelike
wharf The man had been down
several times and coming to the sur
face of the water the last time took a
long breath and disappeared. Not re-
appearing, another diver was sent down,
and after being under water some time
came up with the dead body of the un-
fortunate man. The remains were
taken to the Station House, where an
examination was made by DIR. Trous-
seau. The following is the doctors
report to the Marshal after the examin-
atom
Hon. ]. L. KAULUKoU, Marshal OF
the Kingdom.
SIR According to your instructions
] have made this morning at 10 a. M,
the examination of dead native at the
Station House. Name, Hull; race,
Hawaiian; sex, male; age, about 3si
height, S feet inches; cause Of death,
drowning in salt water.
The native, Hull, apparently of a
strong constitution, was engaged in
diving at the Likelike wharf about
7 O'Clock this morning. After rising
several times, he finally failed to do so
and some natives made search for him
and found his body after search of hal
an hour or so.
The probability is that the deceased
overtaxed his endurance in diving and
was not able to rise again.
There are no marks on his body, anc
as the submersion had lasted too Ions
for any possibility for resuscitation, nc
attempts were made to that effect.
Respectfully submitted,
G.. TRoUssEAU, NJ. ID.
